British Creativity
Susan creates original and innovative work with a distinctive graphic quality. She is best known for her award-winning intricately cut silhouetted metal designs, for both interior and exterior spaces. Her work has encompassed furniture, interior and exterior accessories, products and lighting.
Her innovative British design work has been sold all round the world.
She now works analogue and lo-fi. Hand carving and hand printing linocut prints and working with vintage wooden type to create striking letterpress prints.
She further works with paper creating hand-cut paper collages and also some handmade jewellery from her York studio.
Her inspiration is diverse - song lyrics, wild swimming, protest art, womanhood, folklore and contemporary culture.
These analogue techniques create artworks that continue her distinctive graphic style yet also celebrate the beautiful imperfections of the handmade.
